Resolution
number FR/2022/120
MOVED by Chairperson A Baker, seconded by Member S
Druyven:
That
the Franklin Local Board:
a)
provide the following local board
views on private plan change 76 by Aedifice Development No.1 Limited for 53
Birch Road; 2, 19, 26 and 52 Golding Road; East Street Pukekohe (PT Allt 12
Paro) and part of 31 Ngahere Road:
i)
do not object to the proposed plan
change, noting that this land is already within the Future Urban Zone
ii)
request the applicant engage with the
Supporting Growth Alliance programme, specifically in terms of Golding Road
and the proposed Pukekohe Expressway, to ensure that possible future needs
are considered when planning
iii)
note that the two-metre Ngahere Road
strip of Reserve Land is in-service property, and that the Franklin Local
Board would consider selling this land under Auckland Council’s
optimisation policy for reinvestment in other local projects and to support
success and effective development of this land by the developer
iv)
recommend that the proposed Significant
Ecological Area area include the full area of vegetation noting that South
Auckland, including Pukekohe, has a low percentage of tree canopy and that
areas of established bush should be retained and protected as part of
Auckland’s Climate response
v)
recommend that a riparian strip of
greater that the minimum 10m be retained, preferably the 20 metre strip
envisaged by the Pukekohe-Paerata Structure Plan to better support stormwater
management including impacts from up-stream environments
vi) note and
support Auckland Transport concerns, and consider that these could be
mitigated if the developer were to enhance the walking and cycling
environment/connections to the Pukekohe Train Station and Pukekohe Town
Centre, including fit for purpose foothpaths and cycleways, kerb and channel
on both sides of Ngahere Road and Birch Road, and better pedestrian and cycle
connections to local schools
vii) note with
concern that the proposed connector road between Birch Road and Golding Road
has the potential to be used as an alternative route (from East Street) into
and out of Pukekohe and could create pinch points at Ngahere and East Street
and Golding and East Street
viii)
consider that water management and transport
infrastructure must be addressed by the developer in order to support the
establishment of a new community, noting that Auckland Council will not be in
a position to provide necessary changes needed to accommodate the development
outside of the development area i.e. to the adjacent environs
viii) make the comment that having the area between this
plan change area and that of PC74 omitted is a lost opportunity to ensure
contiguous and well planned development, including provision of
infrastructure for this area of Future Urban Zone land.
b) appoint
the Franklin Local Board Chair to speak to the local board views at a hearing
on Private Plan Change 76, noting that the Chair role is yet to be determined
pending the upcoming Local Government election. Hearings staff should refer
any representation questions to the Senior Advisor for Franklin Local Board when
the hearing date has been confirmed.
c) delegate
authority to the chair of Franklin Local Board to make a replacement
appointment in the event the local board member appointed in resolution b) is
unable to attend the private plan change hearing.
